Hi BP community,I’m an out-of-state investor currently looking at a specific property in Kansas City, MO, in the Eastwood Hills East and Coachlight Square area (northwest of Raytown).

Talk to some of the Realtors in the city and ask them to define where the neighborhoods are and which neighborhoods they think are best.

@Hal RobertsThe biggest challenge is obtaining accurate and current data, such as demographics, job growth, and most importantly, rental data.

Story:While looking into buying some land I stumbled upon a commercial building that was the first bank in the city.

like most cities, there's going to be a huge difference between neighborhoods and suburbs vs city properties. 

It's wayyyyy safer.The biggest question to all GP is this : can all you GP guys survive if Fed does't change their rate or only reducing by a bit ? 

After 45 years investing across many asset classes, many investment types, and everything from lowest risk to outright gambles, I think I finally know the answer.The biggest divide is between investments in which operational control over that investment is with the investor, and investments in which control rests with another party.  

The city's appreciation, vacancy rate, cap rates are truly unparalleled when compared to the other markets you’ve mentioned.

Like all cities, Birmingham features different submarkets.

So if I had to pick just 1 thing as "the" biggest thing in Commercial space to monitor for determining biggest impactors to market prices for MFH, without doubt it's COST OF CAPITAL.
